THE GLASS MENAGERIE
OCTOBER 17 - 26
Written from a memory by Tennessee Williams
THE GLASS MENAGERIE is a memory play by Tennessee Williams that premiered in 1944 and catapulted
Williams from obscurity to fame. Narrated and partially re-enacted by Tom Wingfield, the story revolves around
the lives of Tom, his histrionic mother Amanda, and his mentally fragile sister Laura. The family grapples with
the challenges of daily life in St. Louis during the 1930s aftermath of the Great Depression, particularly
Amanda’s desperate attempts to secure a suitor for the painfully shy and physically disabled Laura.
Considered a classic of American theater, THE GLASS MENAGERIE is admired for its innovative use of
symbolism and its timeless portrayal of family dynamics.
